POINT ME IN THE DIRECTION OF ALBUQUERQUE

Words & Music by Tony Romeo

INTRO: Ab, Db, Ab, Db, Ab, Db

Ab			 Db
Window walkin' downtown, feelin' mighty good
      Ab			   Db9
and I noticed from the corner how all alone she stood
Gb
Underneath the lamplight, an angel in disguise
Db   		            Db9
Lonely little runaway with teardrops in her eyes

Ab, Db, Ab, Db

Ab	                  Db
Crazy little ragdoll, her hair was wild and tossed
      Ab			      Db9
and I put my arm around her, 'cause I knew that she was lost
    Gb
She didn't seem to notice that anyone was near
      Db		            Db9                Db
'till suddenly she turned to me and whispered in my ear

		Ab       Db		     Ab
CHORUS 1:	Point me in the direction of Albuquerque
			     Bbm7  Eb	           Ab    Db
		I want to go home, and help me get home	
		Ab       Db                  Ab
		Point me in the direction of Albuquerque
		              Bbm7  Eb            Ab
		I need to get home, need to get home

Gb          Db           Ab                 Gb        Db      Ab
Showed me a ticket for a Greyhound bus, her head was lost in time
    Gb          Db      Ab
She didn't know who or where she was
     Bbm7           
"And anyone that helps me is a real good friend of mine"
Eb
Real good friend of mine

		Ab      Db	             Ab
CHORUS 2:	Point me in the direction of Albuquerque
		                Bbm7  Eb           Ab, Db, Ab, Db
		And help me get home, help me get home

Ab                            Db
Walked her to the station and kissed away the tears
Ab                           Db
Knowing I'd remember through all the coming years
Gb     
Ragdoll on that Greyhound who waved with all her might
Db                               Db9                   Db
Weeped against the window as the bus rolled out of sight

CHORUS 1

REPEAT AND FADE
